I absolutely agree with (howlvenice), in fact I think facebook will most likely take over Google and WordPress and dominate the entire web like a giant itergalactic internet monster.

Not much chance that like many other enterprises, twitter will align it’self with a powerful affiliate such as, just off the top of my head, since it is so much in the public view at the moment, Barns and Noble.

Or perhaps Skype.

Yes, I am sure that twitter is doomed.

Interesting timing for this article. I am a big fan of twitter, and I spend a lot of time there. I find it fascinating entertaining educational and friendly. But I don’t think it will be around in 2 years. And I just posted a story to my blog as to why.. one word: Facebook. http://howlvenice.com/is-facebook-the-inevitable-social-portal

It might not be a huge factor but it is something to take into consideration.

If there are many people who use twitter like me, they spend a fair amount of time going through thier tweets, (mine are numerous), and as they go through thier tweets they find content of interest to them and follow whatever links are provided to get to that content.

For me that content is:
News from CNN, TheNextWeb, The W3C, Google, PBS, Life, Nookboards, Terra Naomi and many others.

I will mention that many large web agencies, have spent considerable sums of money, built API which included twitter and garnered large amounts of traffic on account of it, which gave them the oportunity for returns on thier investments. Many depend on twitters long term success.

I am a firm believer that Twitter is not cut out for the long run, even though I know there is a HARDCORE base of enthusiasts. As far as metrics go, I think the number of total number of tweets in a given month divided by the total number of accounts would be a good trendable measure.
